Since I’m not a TW stalker, what do you do for a living that keeps you in these places? Park Ranger?

 

Im retired Law Enforcement (FL). Husband is retired Navy officer, but now works for the National Park Service. While that may have some to do with our travels, its not the full reason. We choose to make the time to go-see-do all this on our own time.
